The country has seen revelations about off-books police interrogation warehouses in the past.

A new lawsuit filed in federal court last month alleges that the Baton Rouge Police Department ran a “torture warehouse” where members of its Street Crimes Unit strip searched, beat, and otherwise humiliated people and then released them, often without their being charged with a crime. Soon after the lawsuit was filed, the FBI opened a civil rights investigation into the allegations of misconduct at the now-shuttered warehouse known as “the BRAVE Cave.”

    1. I’m not a “liberal”. 2. You can get fucked. 3. Pushing for complete police defunding police just outs you as a reactionary child and as someone without understanding of the realities of life. Like it or not there is a need for a civilian police force in society. The militarization of police, the complete lack of accountability and transparency, and the two tiered justice system re: police crimes and abuses are the problems. The fact that a civilian police force exists is not.

    Edit: 4. It’s not “your” idea, and certainly not a “solution” of any kind. We live in a society with diverse opinions, backgrounds, needs, and individual capabilities and proclivities. To paint with a broad reactionary brush and then look down your nose at people suggesting alternates along the same track again just confirms you’re immature and lack experience with any real community organizing or coalition building. You can keep your purity tests, but all it’s going to do is marginalize you.
